The Relation between the integral and differential form of Amperes Law

The integral form of Ampere's law in vacuum is

∫B\cdotdl=μ_{0}I

(a) Using the relation between I and J, obtain the differential form of Ampere's
law. You may ignore any displacement current.

(b)Define the displacement current density J_{d} in terms of the displacement
field D and show how it modifies the differential form of Ampere's law.

My attempts at this have circular and achieved no useful answers. So all and any help would be greatly appreciated :D

You can consider special paths for the integration - like squares or circles - and then let their size go to zero. The interesting part is how you get rot(B) out of that limit.
 
I am sorry but I don't understand what you mean?
 
Can you be more specific where the problem is?
Alternatively, can you show your previous attempts?
 

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
